There is no such thing as non-existence. If non-existence existed, then it would always be. Existence cannot come out of non-existence. Non-existence is a logical contradiction. Nothing comes out of nothing, yet here we are. It is logically incoherent to assert that things that exist have precedents that are non-existent.
It is exactly because humans have several different beliefs about the afterlife. There's a natural law of attraction involved that has to do with the ontological idealist nature of existence. Essentially and in general, when you die you find yourself in a place that resonates with your inner characteristics and your deeply held beliefs, which are mostly in the subconscious.
This is why most people who die or have NDEs report that it is like "coming home;" they find themselves in a community/location/environment that resonates with who they are on the inside. This is a natural affinity and attraction that sorts our locations out, so to speak.
Materialism has been 100% falsified by 100+ years of Quantum physics research and experimentation, including experiments that won the Nobel prize for physics in 2022. Whatever "materialistic science" is, it doesn't explain anything because materialism is false. The brain, our bodies, the entire physical universe, is an experience we are having in consciousness, not vice versa. The brain does not produce consciousness; consciousness produces the appearance and experience of having a physical brain. Much like a physical body our consciousness produces in a dream state. The death of the brain cannot end your consciousness any more than dying in a dream would end your conscious existence.
Max Planck, Nobel Prize-winning physicist and the father of quantum theory. - "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness."
Werner Heisenberg - winner of the Nobel Prize in physics: "The atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts."
Pascual Jordan, physicist, early contributor to quantum theory: "Observations not only disturb what is to be measured, they produce it."
Bernard d'Espagnat, theoretical physicist: "The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment."
Martin Rees, British cosmologist and astrophysicist."In the beginning there were only probabilities. The universe could only come into existence if someone observed it. It does not matter that the observers turned several billion years later. The universe exists because we are aware of it."
I'll bring this up again: The afterlife and God don't have to coexist for them to exist. If the afterlife exists, this doesn't automatically mean that God does as well. There are people who don't believe in God at all, yet had a positive NDE.

NDes exist and they vary from person to person. Some say that their NDE was peaceful, some say that it was scary, some say that it was nothing. It's different for everyone. And I have a hard time believing that every person who talked about their NDE is just some attention-seeking person.
"
A highly-cited 2018 study provided participants with low doses of the hallucinogenic drug N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in a controlled setting, then asked them to describe their experience. Their descriptions were uncannily similar to collected descriptions of NDEs. It turns out that DMT is widely present in the mammalian brain. In 2019, researchers at the University of Michigan not only found the compound in various locations in rat brains, but they also discovered neurons with the two enzymes required to make it. Moreover, the neurons seem to produce DMT at levels comparable to those of other key neurotransmitters like dopamine, which drives pleasure, and serotonin, which stabilizes mood. DMT has also been found in small amounts in human brain tissue and larger amounts in cerebrospinal fluid, a clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord."
DMT seemingly floods the human brain at death and causes vivid dreams and NDEs. So if death is some sort of DMT trip we don't come back from, then a afterlife could exist. So what awaits us after death is either what we believe happens (this would explain why NDEs vary from person to person), or nothingness. Even if it turns out to be nothingness, we can't experience that either way, so there is nothing to be concerned about. You would never be able to tell what's going on, it would be like sleeping without ever waking up.
I don't believe in God, Jesus, or any religion, but these NDEs are real. If someone who is catholic and believes in God, thinks that they'll go to heaven after death, and sees a heaven-like place during their NDE, doesn't this mean that they manifested it? If we go by this fact and use the Law of Attraction here, this means that whatever YOU believe happens after death, will happen to YOU. You believe in nothingness? Then you'll end up in a black void. You believe in God? Then you'll end up in heaven. You believe in Narnia or whatever fictional place you want to be in? You'll end up there. That's the only logical way I can think of how all of this works.
If the universe was perfectly fine without us for 14 billion years then why are we here out-of-nowhere? Coincidence?
DMT is in our brain. Coincidence?
DMT takes you to a different reality. Coincidence?
DMT reportedly activates in the brain when we die. Coincidence?
The energy in us cannot be destroyed so where does it go when we die? Coincidence?
We don't know where our consciousness comes from. But there are clearly many things in life that science cannot explain.
Our brain releases huge amounts of DMT as we die.
I'll point out what I said above:
From a person who takes DMT: "Studies shows dimethyltryptamine is being produced in the body. They have found traces of it in blood and urine of deceased individuals. Some even speculate it's being produced in the pineal gland (Although it's just speculation). And scientists have found that larger amounts is being released when you die, or have a near death experience. As we know DMT is a highly psychedelic experience, and will literally take you to another planet. Some even say it's being produced in small amounts when you dream (although that too, is just speculation). But you could say a DMT trip is more like a very, very realistic dream. My theory goes on about DMT being the afterlife itself. The brain actively stays alive for about six minutes after the heart stops. And as we know, time acts very differently in a dream state. Now with DMT being completely different than a dream state, time could also be very different. Six minutes could essentially turn into forever, (if you're not going to wake up again) and your entire life could flash before your eyes in just a matter of seconds. So what if the DMT realm is actually the afterlife. And what people see when they have a near death experience, is actually due to DMT."
Of course, this is just a speculation this person has. But another person then said: "As someone who has broken through like to the core I can assure you 6 minutes is forever, one nanosecond becomes infinity. The best way I can explain it is like a sound will get caught, imagine your game freezing on a sound. Before it shuts down it makes that same repeating sound. That will happen, and you'll get caught in one spot, but in reality it's not just one spot it's infinite spots. It's infinite time, the clock never has to move you can feel suspended through dimensions this way and it's usually a very good and profound feeling. Gives you time to look around when a nanosecond becomes infinity."
When we die, our brain releases huge amounts of DMT. NDEs take people to all kinds of places, every near death experience is different. While one person is taken to a heaven-like place where they feel loved, the other person is taken to a black void where they feel nothing, and then there's another person who is taken to a place where they reunite with their loved ones instead. It varies from person to person. Our brain releasing DMT as we die=we go where we believe where we go. You believe there's no afterlife? You go into a black void of nothingness. A person believes they will be reunited with their loved ones? That will happen. That's again, why NDEs vary from person to person and why even people who don't believe in God can have NDEs.
Considering that:
I'm certain that Law of Attraction is the answer to all of this. The people who believe that they will meet their loved ones after they die, saw their loved ones in their Near Death Experience, and the people who believe that nothing happens after they die, were in a black void in their Near Death Experience.
If you believe that "_____" happens after death, then it happens to you.
If you believe that you'll go to "_____" after death, then that's where you will go.
I stand by that point. Either way, it's a win-win for me.
But anyways, the reason why there are so many different beliefs in what the afterlife could be and why Near Death Experiences vary from person to person, is because you go to whatever place you believe you will go.
Wrong.
Studies of people who have experienced 'clinical death,' but were revived, found a common theme of a "Near Death Experience." Research has suggested that the hallucinogen DMT models this NDE very similarly, suggesting that a DMT experience is like unto the final moments of an individuals life.
DMT models and induces the Near Death Type Experiences.

Like DMT, NDEs vary from person to person. I'll point
this page out where all kinds of NDEs stories are. Near Death Experiences aren't the same for every person. One person went through a tunnel and ended up in a place where they felt loved, the other person reunited with their loved ones, another person ended up in a black void and felt nothing, and then there's another person who like you described, was able to go through the walls of their hospital, and be able to hear and tell what happend in another place (which sounds like astral projection). It's different for everyone. Every NDE is different, just like every DMT trip is different for everyone.
If you think that NDEs are just hallucinations, how come a dying brain is able to recall actions and words that are said in other rooms where the individual decided to leave and wander? For example, a story on how a died and went in the waiting room of e.r. where she saw her father buy a candy bar from the vending machine and thought it was funny since he was always against eating sugar, etc. She confronted him once she came back and he told her that there is no way she could have known that.
There are a lot of examples of people being "out of their body", leaving the area and see what's going on in another room/place. These are confirmed.
There are some researchers who have been collecting and quantifying the data of Near Death Experiences (NDEs) for years now. They have created 6 categories/stages of NDEs that generally sum up most experiences.
- The hellish experience. It can be either a mildly uncomfortable experience, a cold, dark, damp, loveless experience, or the traditional flames and devil experience. Sometimes say they are drawn out of this realm by an indescribable love. Very few people recount experiencing this.
- There is another type of experience where one has an out-of-body perspective, and can travel freely. Often times this happens in an operation room where one's heart has stopped and the doctors are working to revive the patient. The individual many be able to go to other rooms in the hospital, or travel across the country. If they remain in the hospital room, they do not always recognize their own bodies on the table, and can feel confused. (quick note: there have been a surge in NDEs since the 1960s when resuscitation techniques became more advanced.) This one sounds like Astral Projection, which is in fact, real. You can try it yourself. Look for one of these "Binaural Beats Astral Projection" videos on Youtube and find the right frequency that works for you. Maybe 432 Hz or 528 Hz. I sometimes use binaural beats to lucid dream and they work.
- There is another experience of blissful, warm darkness that just feels comfortable. It is indescribable nothingness, often without memory or any inkling of consciousness at all.
- The next experience is similar to the last, but with an additional light that is usually far away, that emanates warmth and love and forgiveness. The individual is either attracted to this light and goes toward it (or the light itself comes to the person.) It allegedly gets better and better the closer one draws to the light, and so they continue. (Obviously this is where the phrase "go/don't go to the light" likely comes from).
- This experience continues where the last leaves off, where the person has broken through the light (to the other side). They now are experiencing a love/compassion/forgiveness/state of consciousness that is unlike anything they can put into words. Sometimes they encounter a sort of guide (this could be a loving anonymous being, or a religious figure (if they experience this, it is sometimes linked to their beliefs on Earth, but not always.))# This experience is sometimes accompanied by the most beautiful music. This being may present them to loved ones, or show them a life review (this is a very common experience of those who have had NDEs.) It may be at this point where the NDEer decides, or is told to return to their body (there is sometimes a choice) because they have "work left to accomplish in their lives." And I put that last part in quotes because of how many people cite that as their reasons on coming back.
- The final experience goes beyond the previous state of love and consciousness and is experienced only by a relatively few people compared to the previous others. They say that they experience a becoming one with the universe/universal energy that unites everything/God. They have stated that they understand everything; that knowledge is known just by thinking of a topic.
Still don't believe me?
Official CIA documents on human consciousness.
In short terms: Consciousness is not a part of our body at all, it's stored in our brain, but not a part of it. Our consciousness (us) is its own being, a ghost version of us. We are basically just energy, in a meat and bone suit. And most likely after death, our physical body, our consciousness, all that we really are, lives on in the true reality of the universe, escaping the confines of time and the limitations of the brain.
